242 oz?
Is that dry weight or actual prepared tea in a cup?
A box of tea weighs 2.37 oz and makes 40 cups. So 242 oz would be 4,084 cups of tea a year. Seems way too high, since 4,084 cups a year is 11 cups a day. So maybe it's prepared tea, which is about 6 ounces per cup. So 242 ounces divided by 6 is 40 cups a year. Or once every 9 days.
Which is more realistic? 11 cups a day or one cup every 9 days? I'd have to go with 11 cups a day, but that's just crazy. If you sleep 8 hours a day (unlikely consuming that much caffeine) you would be drinking 11 cups over 16 hours. Once every 90 minutes or so.
Making a cup of tea and drinking it is a mini-event. It takes time. You put the kettle on, wait for the water to heat, slowly sip the hot tea. It takes maybe 15 minutes for this mini-event. Or a sixth of your 90 minutes in
between each cup.
So in Turkey they spend one sixth of their life drinking tea.
I guess that's why they have these guys.
